How to Create Revit Models from Point Clouds

Building Information Modelling (BIM ) methodology is increasingly penetrating into building design. It will also lead to an inevitable increase in the demand for BIM modelling in the existing building stock. A point cloud is a set of data points within a coordinate system. The points defined by x, y and z coordinates in 3D space, represent the outer surface of an object. These points are plotted using a 3D scanning process.  The 3D map of points is then imported them into specialist software which can interface with our 3D building modelling systems.  The precision and accuracy of the point cloud mapping system ensure that it is an extremely useful tool to digitally represent existing conditions. It creates a “real world” depiction of what’s going on with our site, so there is no guesswork or time-consuming hand measure-ups needed. If we are designing a building that connects onto an existing one, we essentially have highly accurate existing drawings, but in 3D! Point Clou

Advantages of CAD Drafting over Manual Drafting

Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been a real breakthrough in the AEC industry by becoming the primary source of communicating design intent. Before the advent of CAD, the only source for draftsmen was pencil and paper for drawing sketches. The traditional method of manual drafting is iterative and time-consuming. However, now there has been a paradigm shift from traditional manual drafting to cad design and drafting. The top 5 advantages of CAD Drafting over Manual Drafting are: Better Quality Designs The CAD software provides great tools for design professions that will help in carrying out design and analysis of a proposed design. These tools also help in producing designs with high accuracies like in  Shop Drawings  and the scope for errors is much lower when compared to hand drawing. The higher accuracy will lead to better designs and these better designs help in manufacturing faster. Manual design not only takes more time but the errors caused will delay the proc

Steps Involved in MEP Coordination Modeling

MEP coordination method is used for developing 3D coordination models where all Mechanical (HVAC), Electrical and Plumbing components are integrated effectively. This method assists in reducing conflicts among these MEP components. MEP coordination is considered as one of the most vital processes in construction that should be given special attention as it ensures that the building’s architectural design and the structural framework doesn’t interfere with its Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection systems. Thus, it has become one of the most integral practices in the AEC industry. MEP coordination process varies from one firm to another depending on the client’s requirements and the Level of Detail (LOD) sought. Evaluation of Consultant Design Drawings and Structural/Architectural Plans In the initial step, the MEP coordination service providing organization gets single -line drawings from the MEP-contractors or consultants. Later, they analyze the structural

BENEFITS OF 3D CAD MODELING IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN

Computer-aided design software (CAD) is more prominent in the engineering industry as the standard tool used for drafting and design of mechanical components and assemblies. Immediately, projects were able to go from concept to prototype in record time. A major advantage was the added product design flexibility, which allowed engineers to avoid costly mistakes when changes to the design of one component were not passed along to other affected parts of the assembly. Computer design also brought about the ability to visualize complex technical elements that are difficult to conceive in a two-dimensional layout. 3D CAD modelling provides lots of benefits to the mechanical companies. Benefits of 3d cad modelling in mechanical engineering are as follows: Better Design Quality There are lots of the standard templates already present in CAD software so that designers can use these ready-made templates to accurately design their own designs. A CAD software also checks the e

THE ADVANTAGES OF OUTSOURCING CAD SERVICES

Outsourcing CAD drafting and design can boost a company’s productivity, but firms looking to outsource should ask some questions and do their own research before moving CAD work out of the company. CAD, Computer Aided Design, is a computer software development created to help increase the productivity of engineers and designers, as well as, improve the quality of technical drafting and designs. CAD also improves communications through documentation and creates a database for manufacturing. CAD allows users to design products on-screen, as opposed to drawing them by hand. Advantages of CAD Outsourcing Services are : Cost Efficiency: Outsourcing is cheaper than finding in-house solutions. It is energy, time, and resource inexpensive. In addition to cost cuts in payroll, benefits, and, taxes, you won’t have to worry about upgrading existing infrastructure or keeping up with the latest technologies. Your outsourcing company will handle that for you. Better Feasibili

2D CAD Drafting

2D CAD has been around for many years and is a software solution which is now used in several industries throughout the world. Used mostly in the building industry, we see this type of software being used by architects, builders, structural companies, interior designers, landscapers and more.  CAD drafting allows the designers to make the best out of 2D legacy data. They can draw full-scale diagrams with absolute freedom and without having to focus on scaling the design every now and then. The individual diagrams can be presented with multiple viewports, thus ensuring that they represent multiple areas of the design without requiring any additional effort. Apart from that, CAD drafting makes parametric drawing layouts as easy as a walk in the park. With 2D drafting , the operational team responsible for a project can concentrate on the decision making processes while the CAD software automates all the essential steps including analysis, fabrication/engineering design, mod

Benefits of 3D Rendering Services

With the advancements in technology, designing things has reached a whole new level. From one dimensional drawing made by hand, the world has now moved on to images rendered in 3 dimensions. What is 3D Rendering? 3D rendering is a creative process similar to professional photography that involves staging scenes or spaces to produce high-quality images. The difference with 3D rendering is that the image is digitally produced to achieve the same true-to-life result. 3D rendering enables the designer to create a space and then adjust building elements, finishes, furniture, lighting, and landscapes. It’s a powerful tool that has more flexibility than professional photography and can even be more affordable. Benefits of 3D Rendering: Better Visualization Many, if not the majority of people learn well when they can see something in the best way possible.  From the earliest stages of a project, those invested in a project need to be able to see what a project is g
